[*]Description: Once a winding river that stretched for Miles and formed a natural moat around Keldabe, now a massive lake. The flow of the fast moving river was irreparably destroyed during the Destruction of Mandalore. Over the years that the planet was left unattended, the river bled into the surrounding countryside, washing away and drowning places like Little Keldabe, the Grave of the Martyr, and the ancient mass grave just outside of Keldabe. Now a massive lake completely surrounding Keldabe it is a stark reminder of the hubris of the Mandalorians.

Named for the Mandalorian word that roughly translates to moat, the Kelita River flowed through Mandalore's Northern Hemisphere. Its massive body was formed from several tributary rivers throughout the Kelita Valley and eventually dumped out into the sea, but not before winding almost completely around the hilltop fort city of Keldabe. For thousands of years the river served as a local attraction for Mandalorian families as well as a form of natural defense against would be invaders. It was the main drinking source for towns and settlements for thousands of miles. After the Destruction of Mandalore orchestrated by Mia Monroe and several other accomplices, the flow of the river was forever changed. Instead of continuing on full force into the ocean, the river flooded, destroying much of the small settlements, mines, farmland, and woodland around Keldabe. Its water levels rose above and over the stone balustrade that protected the city during the rainy season, flooding into parts of Keldabe as well. The once great river was now interrupted by an immense lake, a constant reminder of Mandalore's hubris and self destructive nature. Despite this, two large cities popped up in the and around the lake. The new MandalMotors sponsored city, aptly named Kelita City, and New Keldabe. In order to keep the flow from completely flooding MandalMotors and the Builders Guild of Mandalore constructed a dam to slow the lake's growth and power the two new cities formed in and around this new landmark.
